"A Horror That Shocks Through Innovation."
- Sunday Times
"A Haunting Head-Spinning Thrill Ride."
- Sunday Express
When Jess (Melissa George) and her friend Greg (Michael Dorman) set sail with a group of friends, she cannot shake the feeling something is wrong. When the yacht hits the eye of the storm, the group is forced to board a mysterious passing ocean liner; a deserted ship that Jess is convinced she's been on before. Although it appears to be deserted, they soon discover that are not alone. Someone is intent on hunting them down, one by one, and Jess unknowingly holds the key to end the penultimate terror.
The Blu-ray and DVD release is jam-packed with the following Special Features:
- The Making of Triangle
- Audio Commentary with director Christopher Smith
- 3 Storyboards (The Storm, Jess Walking Through The Mirror, The Car Crash)
- Deleted Scenes
- Competition Winners Poster Design
- The Storm Special Effects Featurette
Says director Christopher Smith - "I came up with the idea that a girl arrives on a deserted ship, sees another figure on the top of the ship that we can't identify, and then by the end of the first loop, she is that girl looking down at herself arriving. I have no idea where that came from, although I have always loved movies that play with structure and time, like "Memento" and "Reservoir Dogs". And I wanted to employ those techniques in a psychological thriller narrative. So the idea came first, and then I had to write a story and the characters around the concept - a "Twilight Zone" idea really."
"This Nifty Thriller Is An Impressive Leap Forward For British Horror Built Around A Driving Idea of Inescapable Deju Vu."
- Daily Telegraph
"Triangle Is A Clever And Compelling Occult Thriller."
- The Observer
Triangle is a completely different take on the horror or thriller genre. It's a psychological thriller that will definitely scare you. The film is innovative and highly original and the characters have real depth, all of which combines to make it a very striking piece." Says producer Chris Brown - "In the first fifteen minutes you think you know exactly where the film is going, and then about fifteen minutes later you have absolutely no idea what's happening at all. It's a real rollercoaster and a very clever piece of writing."
Producer Jason Newmark says that Christopher Smith always works to entertain his audience, but with this film wanted to give them something new, something different and something original. Says Chris: "I've grown up loving horror movies but I wanted this to be something more than that. It doesn't just work to scare you; it also works to make the audience really think. There are so many twists and turns, and I hope it will challenge the audience."
